Chapter 263 Taking the initiative to help

Ah Yu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. The old lady had been crying that morning. Who would have thought that in just one morning, she would be volunteering to help out.

However, it seems that my grandmother went out for a while in the morning and didn't come back until about half an hour later. I don't know if she figured it out while she was out, or what.

Seeing that her sister didn't know either, Yue Fuli didn't ask any more questions. She would ask someone later and she would know the reason for the old lady's change of attitude.

"You're back!" The old lady greeted Yue Fuli and the others when she saw them coming back. It was as if nothing had happened last night.

"Yes!" Yue Fuli nodded, then looked at the old lady who had already prepared the dishes and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. You guys are the ones who have to work hard to open up the wasteland. Ah Li, I was wrong last night. I shouldn't have said that. Just think of it as a mental breakdown and don't take it to heart."

"I have forgotten what you said last night."

It is impossible to forget.

However, since the old lady had already admitted her mistake, Yue Fuli would not dwell on it. After all, she was the elder, so she had to give her some respect.

Because of the change in the old lady's attitude, the atmosphere at lunchtime was much better. After dinner, the old lady wanted to help wash the dishes again, but Sanniang stopped her and said, "Old lady, you can take a rest. We can do the rest."

After Sanniang and Xiuwan went to the kitchen and Lu Jingxing returned to the front yard, the old lady looked at Yue Fuli and said, "Ali, I went out this morning and heard that we can hire someone to help with the land reclamation. If you have money at home, why not hire someone? Otherwise, it will be too hard for you guys."

"I see. I'll go ask about it in the next couple of days."

"That's good."

After sending the old lady away, Yue Fuli returned to her room. However, she did not rest in her room. Instead, she called Yue Yi, who was secretly guarding her, and asked, "The old lady went out this morning. Who did she meet?"

"The old lady went out this morning and met several women from the village. She chatted with them for a while. We were a little far away, so we didn't hear what they said. However, since she came back from outside, she has started helping with housework."

After hearing Yue Yi's words, Yue Fuli guessed that perhaps those people had said something to the old lady that caused her to change her attitude.

However, the old lady's suggestion of hiring someone to open up the wasteland should be put on the agenda. This morning, the three women worked hard all morning, but didn't open up much land.

It just so happens that Yueyi and his brothers are here and can help. When the time comes, we can just say that we are invited from outside.

As for the villagers, Yue Fuli saw that they were quite busy, so she didn't plan to hire them for the time being. It wouldn't be too late to invite them when the wasteland was cleared and it was time to plant something.

It just so happened that by that time, they should have finished planting their own land, so they had plenty of time to help her with the farming.

Thinking of this, Yue Fuli directly told Yue Yi his thoughts.

"Miss, how many people do you need?"

"Ten, then. I'll provide you with three meals a day. As for the other brothers, have them go to the city to find Steward Lin and see if he has anything to arrange for you. If not, I'll come back to find you in a few days and arrange something for you."

"I understand." Yue nodded and left.
